Immune does mean immune, since a holy-type enemy does not take any damage from light-elemental attacks, but if the attack is both light- and dark-elemental, then the enemy takes normal damage. What else could it be called? Guys, this is nothing new. We've played this game this way from the beginning. Almost three years... This game's elemental system is based on that, but for simplicity's sake there's no "strong against" category. An enemy could also "absorb" an element (like in many JRPGs), but I decided not to include it inherently to this game either, again to keep it simple.

The model can be rebuilt. There is also another door on the opposite side to the one they came from, while the Demon Door stands opposite to the uneven wall with the trident sigil. "That door takes us to the foyer of the auditorium", Noel says, pointing to the third door. "This room is like a mirror image of the library, actually."

Exactly. Just because the elemental immunity is "tacked on" and not in the actual type of the enemy, it doesn't mean an element that the enemy is weak to wouldn't counter that.

If I understood you right, ie. the hero's weapon is of the element that the enemy is immune to, then yes, other multipliers (encouraged, flying, hunting, etc.) have no effect. Only elemental weaknesses can counter elemental immunities.

Erik tries to take the iron candelabras, but they are tall and heavy and totally unwieldy. "EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN PLACE IN THIS WORLD. OTHERS SUCK SOULS, OTHERS GUARD ENTRANCES AND OTHERS ARE THE PREY. CARE TO GUESS WHICH ROLE YOU PLAY IN THIS?" Thalion examines the shattered globes, and comes to the conclusion that they once belonged to a model of the solar system, like Professor Polaris said. The model is now shattered in pieces. "DIDN'T I ANSWER THAT QUESTION ALREADY? I HAVE FOUR FACES, AND MY SOLE PURPOSE IS TO NOT LET YOU THROUGH THESE DOORS." Heckz unites the party by leading the others back to the Planetarium. He then searches Professor Polaris' body and uncovers 52 gold. "Oh no you didn't..." Amorith's feeble push does nothing to the wall, nor does he find a switch anywhere on the wall.

Heckz attempts to use the Ruby Slippers to teleport to the Marketplace, but as he vanishes he bumps into an unseen barrier and is violently tossed back where he came from. His health is reduced to 1 by the injuries. "Well, that proves that. The forces surrounding this building are unfathomable, only a fool would try to surpass them." Drucilla gives the groaning Heckz a meaningful look. "Umm, d-d-do you need help, m-mister?" In the Planetarium, the battle rages on. Results of Round Nine of the Planetarium Battle: >Thalion does nothing >Erik (Twin Axe) vs. Aureole (twice) - Special Damage/Damage (Erik: 40 health+4 SP-(43/2=22 dmg)=22 health) >Sorrow vs. Aureole - Damage/Lethal Hit (Aureole: 964 health-(56x2=112 dmg)=852 health) >Sorrow vs. Aureole - Shield/Special Damage (Grim Reaper - Sorrow: +45 gold) Aureole hits Erik, while Sorrow hits the demon back and reaps some gold from it.

Results of Round Eleven of the Planetarium Battle: >Thalion does nothing >Erik (Twin Axe) vs. Aureole (twice) - Meditate/Damage (Erik: +1 ether) >Sorrow vs. Aureole - Special Damage/Critical Lethal Hit (Aureole: 740 health-(83x2=166 dmg)=574 health) >Sorrow vs. Aureole - Lethal Aim/Critical Lethal Hit (Aureole: 574 health-(83x2=166 dmg)=408 health) Erik meditates to recover ether while Sorrow whittles down Aureole's health. Results of Round Twelve of the Planetarium Battle: >Thalion does nothing >Erik (Twin Axe) vs. Aureole (twice) - Damage/Meditate (Erik: +1 ether) >Sorrow vs. Aureole - Lethal Hit/Lethal Aim (Aureole: 408 health-(56x2=112 dmg)=296 health) >Sorrow vs. Aureole - Special Damage/Lethal Aim (Aureole: 296 health-(27x2=54 dmg)=242 health) Erik continues to meditate as Sorrow continues to shoot the demon.

In a burst of light, Aureole vanishes, leaving only the corpse of Professor Polaris behind. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Sorrow and Thalion gain a third of a level while Erik gains a half. The enemies drop the following loot: Unholy Parasol (Grants immunity to light, stunned, blinded, sealed and blessed; accessory) 90 gold Sorrow tried to feel pulse from Pleiades' body, but could not find one. The astronomy professor was too far gone... "EH, YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME. AUREOLE WAS A HARDCORE BASTARD, SO YOU CAN CALL YOURSELVES LUCKY THAT THE BODYCOUNT WAS THAT LOW", said the Demon Door.

They could also last 5 rounds, or only offer a 50% boost to stats as opposed to doubling them. But I agree with Khorne, I'm seeing less and less reliance on consumables nowadays since the rogues do not make as much gold anymore.

Heckz dons the red shoes and imagines himself to the Storage Room. The shoes swoop him from his feet, but when he crashes down on the floor the others have vanished and he is surrounded by the remains of the mounted animals they fought earlier. The shoes worked - at least inside the Academy!

I've already given my opinion on the buff-discussion in the past, and I stand by my suggestion to make the positive effects last only 10 rounds. That would make the long, monotonous battles more risky. I hear all of your suggestions on the issue, but I think all of them are either too complex or just not practical. We just have to live with the situation for now, I think. For the record, I never rebalance my enemies because of buffs that the heroes have (and that shows ).

Like joeshmoe quoted, I've allowed multiple items to be traded in one turn between two players. I will add it to the FAQ for clarity's sake. Natural Respite also allows the Barbarian to rest without a bedroll, because Barbarians are accustomed to sleeping on the ground and stuff. Sorry, I think the traits are perfectly fine as they are.

Okay, let's not get down that path again... May it be thus ruled that Smoke Bombs force the entire party to flee unless the Quest Master allows otherwise due to extraordinary circumstances. I will add it to the FAQ so we can check it from there once this discussion rises again in a year or so.

The djinn princess rolls her eyes. "Excuse me, can't you see I'm talking with the actual Master of the Lamp here? Tsch, the audacity of some mortals..." "That's right, honey. You make my dreams come true, and I'll make yours - just as long as it is one from the list. I do think it was awfully valiant for you to tear that gastly book demon Saga to shreds, might I say. You have great potential, Thalion Dwinlas. Any girl would be lucky to have you as their personal protection. In fact, I wish you would marry me, right here and right now. Come on, hunky elf, take me as your immortal wife and you will have what you desire!" Silence falls into the Planetarium, and the djinn's wish is left lingering in the air as an echo.

It belongs to the Jedi Consular from Star Wars set 75025. That awesome headgear is also making an appearance on another NPC in the quest.

What if Smoke Bombs cost more? And Feathers of Flight would be introduced in the Marketplace as costing 5 gold?

There's a FAQ in the first post of this topic. You can find answer to this and many other questions from there.

Sorry, I'm feeling distracted right now. My answers were YES, you (as in Thalion) can use her multiple times during the course of this quest and YES, you can only choose each wish once.

Yes and yes. But just mind you that she's not easy to please. Thanks! Figbarfing is one of my biggest joys when creating quests.

QM Note: Haha, sorry! My calculations for that round were so off that it isn't even funny... err...

QM Note: Heckz doesn't actually have a Smoke Bomb, but Amorith does. Cutcobra, you owe legobodgers a Smoke Bomb, methinks. Results of Round Six of the Planetarium Battle: Amorith uses a Smoke Bomb - (Amorith, Heckz, Drucilla, Noel, Nuitan and the followers flee) Karie flees Thalion uses Magic Lamp >Sorrow vs. Aureole - Critical Lethal Hit/Damage (Aureole: 1732 health-(83x2=166 dmg)=1566 health) >Sorrow vs. Aureole - Lethal Aim/Damage (Aureole: 1566 health-(27x2=54 dmg)=1512 health) >Erik vs. Aureole - Shield/Meditate (Blood Ritual - Aureole: 1500 health-(0+0+0=0 dmg)=1512 health) Amorith breaks a Smoke Bomb into the ground, allowing most of the party to use the veiling smoke to escape from the battle and out of the room into the small corridor where they came in from. The remaining three heroes continued the desperate battle. Thalion took out the oil lamp he pilfered from the library, and gave it a good rub. True enough, a billow of pink smoke erupted from it, and in the next moment an exotic female djinn hovered in front of him. "Aaaah! Finally!!! What the hell took you so long?!" The djinness looks around. "Oh, literally hell, it seems. My bad. Now, here's the deal: I am Djinnifer, the oh-so-beautiful princess of genies, and if you fulfil my wishes, I might consider fulfilling yours. Isn't that sweet of me, eh? However, I work by a strict set of rules. Here's a list of wishes you can ask me - but remember, only after you've fulfilled one of my wishes." The djinn princess conjured up a list and shoved it to Thalion's face. "Also, you can only choose each wish once. Got that? Oh, you must feel so lucky it was you who found me after all these centuries rotting away in the folds of that bookish demon. I only managed to escape because she was so busy gorging up those foolish mortals... Oops, I mean poor people. Now, what should I wish for...?" As Djinnifer is contemplating, Sorrow and Erik waste no time in dealing with Aureole.

All I have to say is why can't you host a quest the normal way for once. I already told you when I gave you this new chance at hosting that I don't want to see any more needlessly complex additional mechanics that confuse your players, did I not?

Arc Scrolls have an ether cost tied to the amount of enemies, so why would failing only cost 1 ether?

I'm terribly sorry about the Grogmas event. I keep meaning to tackle it, but hours seem to fly by and I really need a solid two or three hours to concentrate on it solely. But I will get it done, dammit!

QM Note: Items do not nullify Free Hits, since there's zero chance that the enemy would retaliate.

"Come on, we can't just abandon the professor here! She's the hottest teacher in this whole shithole! Is there really nothing we can do? Does nobody have anything usable in their back pockets?" Noel turns to Thalion. "Hey, didn't you pick something up from the library?"

Continued from the General Discussion, since this is about a rule: Ah, thank you for reminding me! I was scratching my head as to where this issue would have risen up in the first place, but of course it was Throlar's crazy antics. Honestly, I didn't even consider at that time that "hey, even if someone throws a Smoke Bomb, not everyone has to flee". On the other hand it's true that allowing it would make the item just a "Flee" with a gold cost. What do you guys think, should it be elaborated on the FAQ that a Smoke Bomb can be used only to partially flee? I already allowed it in my current quest, anyway.
